I got a start on trimming the garlic, this afternoon

[Siwsan]

Parked myself beneath the branches of the maple tree and got to work on 3 bundles. At least another 10 to go, so I'll ramp it up, tomorrow.

It was a pretty good garlic year so I'll have plenty to share with family and friends. I already used some when I roasted a chicken, on Sunday. I smash the smaller cloves and use them to stuff the chicken, along with fresh herbs (sage, rosemary, thyme) and veg (onion, celery and carrots). I can officially report that this year's garlic is proving to be nice and potent.

I also take the smaller cloves like a garlic pill, every morning. I give it a couple of them a quick bruising and then swallow them whole. Much better than buying products like Garlique.
